Less or Fewer
Use the comparative form fewer with plural nouns.
Example:
There are fewer people here than there were yesterday. --- This is a wrong sentence.
There are less people here than there were yesterday. --- This is a right sentence.
Use less with uncountable nouns - that is, ones with no plural form.
Example:
He has less money than I have.
